Adapting Podcast: Mastering the Art of Jewish Education
It's not enough to simply know our Israel story; we must master the art of engaging with whom we disagree.
About
Please note, this episode was recorded prior to the Iranian attacks on Israel on April 13th.
In our ongoing series, "Israel Education in a Post-October 7th World," Ilana Gleicher-Bloom emphasizes the new era of Jewish education we find ourselves in today, one in which Jewish educators are now full-time Israel educators.
Her message is clear: it's not enough to simply know our Israel story; we must master the art of engaging with whom we disagree, and come to the table with curiosity, empathy, and humility. The conversation is a reminder to us all that Israel education is not how we win, but how we grow together. Plus, Ilana shares what freedom means to her this Passover while there are still hostages in Gaza.
